Be it known that I, FRANK M. li/loDnie morir, a citizen of' the United States, residingr at Troyv in the county of Rensselaer and State ot New York, have invented certain nenv and useiul improvements in Collar Buttons, et which `the following` is a speen iication. l

This invention relates to collar buttons and has orits object the production oi? a collar button, which may be conveniently attached to a collar band of a shirt, aiter the button has been attached to the collar.

rrnother object of the invention is the production ot' simple collar button, which may be lcheaply manufactured.

t'ther objects and advantages 'ot the present-invention 4will appear throughout the lbllowing l specication and claims.

ln the drawings: y

vFigure l is ayertical section through a suirt band, showing thev collar button in place. n a

Figure@ is a rear elevation of the shirt band or collar band, the button shank being shown in transverse section.

Figure 3 is a longitudinal section through the collar band ot a shirt7 the button being shown in top plan. i

Figure 4 is a perspective View ot the collar button.

'By referring` to the drawings it. Will be seen that l designates the fan-shaped body7 of the collar button, which is flared out-` wardly from the bottom toward the top thereot, and constitutes a substantially `flat plate. The lower end oi' the body is provided with an upwardly bent neck 2, terw ,niinating in an outwardly extending shank 2L this shank 3 supporting a plurality ot pivotally mounted levers it ot the usual type. 4ln operatingthe bnttoin the levers l are passedthrough the button hole ot' a collar before the saine is placed on the wearer.

The tan-shaped body is then placed under the guard of the neck band as shown in Figures l and 2. The i'nounting ot' the collar i i button in engagement with the collar band as" y' described will permit the same to inove slightly to the right or left `While the front ends of the collar` are being fastened to the i front of the collar band. For instance,while one end ot the collar is being fastened to the collar band, the. rearcollar button may eas-y ily slide. in that direction7V and when the opposite endet the collar is being fastened, the rear collar button may easily7 slide inf` the corresponding directiov It should be understood that certain de- 'j tailchanges in design, etc., may be made Without departing` from the spirit of the invention, so long as these changes ktall within the scope of the appended clainis.
